In a typical suburban street of Drummoyne this residence brought an exploration of dynamic forms to its resolution of renovation of an old timber cottage. Exploration took advantage of passive solar design principles, links to landscape and outside living that Sydney enables. Internally volumes were created through the interstitial spaces gained between the old house and the new extension. This took advantage of the North facing side face of the house as well as the link to the back garden.

The research underlying this residential renovation and extension addresses the new nature of timber and steel construction within an historic suburban environment. It attempts to shift the emphasis of what was a small, inwardly focused timber dwelling to one of openness and light. From the early twentieth century model of living the house could now take advantage of new require­ments in lifestyle including the integration of inside/outside casual living patterns, access to solar aspect, a desire for lofty volumetric spaces and a relaxed internal environment. The formal modelling of the house opens the plan while suggesting spatial variation by establishing specific places for activities such as reading nooks, formal and informal eating spaces, and, formal and informal living spaces. Spaces are often defined suggestively through changes in materials or structural orientation allowing the casting of shadows throughout the day to support an ever-changing spatiality. The house thus became opened as one passed through the more historically reminiscent façade. In a street of old timber cottages this approach to design retained the street’s sensibility without its historical nature defining an overly rigid interior. It also retained the roof volume as an essential reminder of the historical profiles of historical timber cottages of the area.

The research underlying this residential renovation and extension addresses the new nature of timber and steel construction within an historic suburban environment. It attempts to shift the emphasis of what was a small, inwardly focused timber dwelling to one of openness and light. From the early twentieth century model of living the house could now take advantage of new require­ments in lifestyle including the integration of inside/outside casual living patterns, access to solar aspect, a desire for lofty volumetric spaces and a relaxed internal environment. The formal modelling of the house opens the plan while suggesting spatial variation by establishing specific places for activities such as reading nooks, formal and informal eating spaces, and, formal and informal living spaces.

The research underlying this residential renovation and extension addresses the new nature of timber and steel construction within an historic suburban environment. It attempts to shift the emphasis of what was a small, inwardly focused timber dwelling to one of openness and light. From the early twentieth century model of living the house could now take advantage of new require­ments in lifestyle including the integration of inside/outside casual living patterns, access to solar aspect, a desire for lofty volumetric spaces and a relaxed internal environment. The formal modelling of the house opens the plan while suggesting spatial variation by establishing specific places for activities such as reading nooks, formal and informal eating spaces, and, formal and informal living spaces. Spaces are often defined suggestively through changes in materials or structural orientation allowing the casting of shadows throughout the day to support an ever-changing spatiality. The house thus became opened as one passed through the more historically reminiscent façade. In a street of old timber cottages this approach to design retained the street’s sensibility without its historical nature defining an overly rigid interior. It also retained the roof volume as an essential reminder of the historical profiles of historical timber cottages of the area.

In a typical suburban street of Drummoyne this residence brought an exploration of dynamic forms to its resolution of renovation of an old timber cottage. Exploration took advantage of passive solar design principles, links to landscape and outside living that Sydney enables. Internally volumes were created through the interstitial spaces gained between the old house and the new extension. This took advantage of the North facing side face of the house as well as the link to the back garden.

OPUS

OPUS (Open Publications of UTS Scholars) is the UTS institutional repository. It showcases the research of UTS staff and postgraduate students to a global audience. For you, as a researcher, OPUS increases the visibility and accessibility of your research by making it openly available regardless of where you choose to publish.

Items in OPUS are enhanced with high quality metadata and seeded to search engines such as Google Scholar as well as being linked to your UTS research profile, increasing discoverability and opportunities for citation of your work and collaboration. In addition, works in OPUS are preserved for long-term access and discovery.

The UTS Open Access Policy requires UTS research outputs to be openly available via OPUS. Depositing your work in OPUS also assists you in complying with ARC, NHMRC and other funder Open Access policies. Providing Open Access to your research outputs through OPUS not only ensures you comply with these important policies, but increases opportunities for other researchers to cite and build upon your work.

OPUS archives UTS research submitted for the UTS Research Output Collection (UTS ROC) and Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA). It also stores digital theses and forms of scholarship that do not usually see formal publication.

How can you deposit works in OPUS?

When you claim (or enter) your research in Symplectic Elements, simply upload a copy of your work which can be made openly available. Symplectic provides information on which version of your work to upload. If you are unsure, please supply a copy of the Accepted Manuscript version. Ensure you check the box to "agree to the OPUS license terms".

Once uploaded, your works are automatically sent to OPUS and placed temporarily in Closed Access until reviewed by UTS Library staff.
